news of your death
when I open my eyes
green leaves
I bend to lift this basket
filled with fallen apples

summer wedding
men in straw fedoras gossip
underneath trees
on the other side of the lake
a great blue heron listens

wild iris
I remember her manicured
hands

 

news of your death
when I open my eyes
green leaves

wedding and bride

 

 

summer wedding
men in straw fedoras gossip
under the trees

 

The line one fragment sets the scene for a summer wedding; the line two and three phrase provides viewers with a view of men in their “straw fedoras” “gossiping under the trees. Readers do not know whether the scene takes place before or after the marriage; we only see them captured in a time snapshot wearing their summer hats and conversing under the trees—truly, a memorable Norman Rockwell moment portrayed in words.     john daleiden — “two are better than one” choice haiku

billowing clouds
now the robin’s nest
is empty

 

billowing clouds
doves and sparrows on the same
transmission line
